Guest Designer: Keely Livings

Hi! My name is Keely
Livings. I’m a mom of 2 teenaged boys
from Georgetown, Kentucky. I’ve been
papercrafting as long as I can remember. I’m such a fan of Authentique
products. As a designer for Want2Scrap,
I love incorporating Authentique collections in my monthly projects. I love the fabulous weight and texture of
Authentique papers. My favorite piece is
always the 12x12 detail stickers. When
I’m not designing, I work as an advanced practice nurse for a local
hospital.

I loved creating with the “Joyous” collection. I’m such a collector of anything Santa, so the sweet vintage Santa images were just perfect. I loved layering the beautiful patterned papers with die cuts and stickers.

I created a Christmas card, a large gift tag, and an 8”x8” altered canvas. I combined the “Joyous” collection with lots of Want2Scrap bling and chipboard.

How would you like to win this beautiful Christmas collection that Keely used to create these amazing projects? We have a couple "Joyous" Paper Crafting kits along with some puzzle pieces & advent blocks to give away!

GORGEOUS projects! Love all the layering and the vintage Santas are perfect in my opinion! Your altered canvas is STUNNING! I am in love with the picture on it! So ethereal! Love the puzzle pieces in this collection!! TFS!

Fabulous and creative projects. I love the words and the being along with the Santa. I would love to make a Christmas canvas for myself and my daughter-in-law. I think it would be fun to replace a picture on the wall with a Christmas canvas.

GREAT getting to know you Keely!!!LOVE your style - your JOYOUS card, tag and canvas really are full of beautiful JOY and will be a DELIGHT to the recipients!!!THANK YOU for sharing your crafty Christmas inspiration :)

These fabulous projects create a Joyous noise that makes me want to create beautiful projects with the best paper ever!!!! Loved the Traditions canvas with the wonderful layers of quotes, bling and ribbon and the vintage tag and card are so fun. Beautifully created. Thanks for sharing.

I am addicted to puzzles (not as much as I ma to scrapbooking) and there is nothing my kids like more than to hide a piece and drive me up the wall! I love everything Authentique and this would be just perfect for me to scrap the layouts of the family around the dining room table, working on yet another puzzle I received on Christmas morning! And this time the kids can't hide the pieces! (If the table is not covered in puzzle pieces it is covered with scrapbooking goodies which have overflowed from my craft table! My husband got home one night and I had done a major clean and tidy up and he had the cheek to ask when we bought a dining room table. I think it had been years since he had seen it free of puzzle pieces or craft goodies! :)

These projects are all beautiful! Vintage is my most favorite thing. I can't wait to try making the tag Keely made (I love tags), even though I don't have the same papers. I would love to win this giveaway,so I could make the same tag!

It's Terrible! I don't know how you can create such horrendous paper projects. JUST KIDDING you said you wanted a "unique" comment and this was about as unique as I could create based on the previous comments. It really is stunning. Keep creating!
